The Belgian Sheepdog also known as the Groenendael, is a, ancient and versatile herding dog. The breed originating in Belgium is a traditional herding dog that has 4 varieties, The Groenendael, Malinois, Tervuren, and Laekenois.
Peggy Richter is a Belgian Sheepdog fancier that trains and conditions her dogs at On The Lamb Ranch, in Camarillo, Ca. In this video Peggy runs down everything about Groenendaels from the breeds history, health, and working ability.

Thank you for a greath resume of this wonderful breed
the netherlands and belgium aka the lowlands produce the best dogs💪👍🇱🇺
Had a Groenendal for more than 13 years. She was the best dog ! I feel much love when I watch the Dogs in the Video. I really miss her. She travelled whith me and my son through Europe, always protective and by our side. We had much Fun going by Bike. She did run at the Trottoir me in the street and she just looked if I still agree. We had telepathic connection.
She knows a great deal. Believe me people that actually "work" the dogs really understand their behavior.
You are fortunate to be able to work your dog in herding. It's too bad that some trainers do not give dogs of other breeds a chance to prove themselves before they are rejected but it worked out well for you. Thanks for posting.
no they do not have they are belgians dombo first learn to pronounce the names
mainly nederlandse herders were shot during WW2
benelux sheperds 🤣🤣
Very informative, thanks. Beautiful dogs. I love that they have a natural straight back, not sloped like a lot of German shepards, which is not only cruel but ugly.
Me and our Groenendael enjoyed this very much from under the duvet on the bed, she's a bit of a princess!
I was wondering if you can do a update or another interview with Belgians
Nice 👌
Belgian sheepdogs and belgian tervurens are awesome dogs.
I feel her, a lot of schutzhund clubs don't want anything other then german shepherds and mals involved. Even if you just wanna hobby at their club they just don't want any other breed near their club.
Hellhound of Mons
How are they around horses
I grew up in the 1970's and we got a 1 year old female Belgiun Groenendael Sheepdog we called Renee. Renee was the best dog I ever owned. Smart, loved people, an amazing guard dog. I highly recommend them, They have a great nature and their fur does not smell. They only shed a tiny bit and are remarkably clean dogs. The biggest mistake we made with Renee was not giving her stuff to do…training her to fetch, jump around and through stuff, and tricks was what these dogs love. As a result Renee put on weight and died at only age 12.
I’ve had two Tervs and I’m on my third black dog.
I can’t imagine my home without at least one.
I would love to have one of these dogs if possible when I am able to learn to look after dogs along with other animals as pets. They remind me of Sirius Black from Harry potter when he was in his animagus form.
I hope that we can keep on protecting Groenendaels and Tervurens; I would hate to see them being overbred like the German shepherd and Malinois. They are way to gorgeous and adorable to end up in shelters.
That was a great video!
I had a Groenendael mix for just short of eleven years. The other breed that got in there was a mystery; I never bothered to get Kira DNA tested. But she did fine in an apartment, including when I went off to work. She was around 75 – 80 lbs., and had a rounded head, but otherwise looked like a Belgian Sheepdog. I wonder if she might have been part Newfoundland.
We did walk a LOT. I trained her to jump through a hoop to earn her dinner, which she would also do for fun. She managed to donate 36 units of blood at Dove Lewis. (If you search for "dog blood donation" you'll find a video of Kira giving a unit.)
If anyone lives in California I would like to have one of these puppies ❤
derived from the lowland shepherd DUTCH and belgium
why use french names they areDuch named dogs
learn geography and history
❤I hawe 2 Gronendel shipdog. 🥰🥰 They are wonderful ❣️
We used them and German Shepherds on our cattle ranch, we replaced border collies for two reasons, first the collies were nuts and often into mischief when not working and we lost some to predators, never lost the Shepherds to predators.
What kind of jobs would be good for them if they live in a home?
I have Belgian sheep dog , I'm from India , part of Tamil madu
Thanks for this informative video. I’ve only had two of these Belgian Groenendaels but I can’t imagine a smarter more interesting dog to have.
Lovely trot that dog has👍♥️❤️🌹
I adopted one from Crete. What an amazing dog she is. So loving
Thank you very much for this documentary!
Having an own groenendael is up in my mind since childhood.. I'm raised with a German sheepdogs and a rough collie..
I did a lots of research and now the only thing, what really majes me insecure to get one soon is, that they are susceptible to epilepsy and other neurological disease..
that scares me..
Is there anyone her, to share honest experiences with his groenendael?
lots of greets from Germany
i watch this video so much with my mal fast asleep after our 5 mile hike and everyday frisbee session lol
